Dichotomy

You lead me to the garden
But, I dare not enter.
Forbidden is the pleasure found there.

You take me to the edge
And, do not allow me to move freely.
No more is the precipice without danger.

You ask me to tell you my innermost thoughts
Yet, do not reveal your own.
No longer is the relationship reciprocal.

You want me to see you for who you are
But, do not bare your soul.
Unable to show your true self.

You expect me to give and give and give
While you take and take and take.
Offering nothing in return.

You act as if you are an island
But, provide no passage to your shores.
Remaining isolated and barren.

You desire the truth above all else
Yet, do not analyze your own deceit.
Unable to recognize your own frailty.
